Reviews

«I am impressed by David Rio's command of the field of Nevada literature and of Western American literature and theory more broadly. As the first book-length study of Nevada fiction, this book is important and all the more so for situating its topic amidst larger trends in New Western writing. The book will be a valuable milestone in Nevada's literary coming of age.» (Cheryll Glotfelty, editor of Literary Nevada: Writings from the Silver State)
